Seller verification status is shown on listings
A seller account can publish a listing while TechSwap clearly shows whether identity verification is complete. Verified status helps buyers understand who stands behind each shop and listing.
ID-data checks with the Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA)
The information needed for identity verification is used in the eKYC process to check Thai national ID data with DOPA, helping reduce impersonation and fraud risk.
Clearer information for more confident decisions
Before transacting, buyers can consider the seller's verification status, product details, and seller information alongside their own judgment.
TechSwap trust and safety principles
1) Seller verification status on listings
TechSwap shows seller verification status on every listing. Sellers can publish before completing eKYC, and completing eKYC helps reduce anonymous abuse, impersonation, and listings that cannot be investigated later.
- Verified sellers show a badge on their listings.
- Reduces the risk from anonymous accounts.
- The support team has more context when reviewing reports.
- Verified sellers receive a clearer trust signal.
2) DOPA checks in the eKYC flow
Identity data required for verification is used to check Thai national ID information with the Department of Provincial Administration (DOPA). The result is displayed as seller verification status on listings.
- Required national ID data is checked as part of the process.
- The flow helps reduce impersonation and false identity claims.
- Data is used for identity verification and platform safety purposes.
- Verification operates alongside personal-data protection practices.
3) Listings should provide decision-ready details
A used-tech listing should clearly state model, storage, memory, condition, photos, additional notes, accessories, warranty status, and other details buyers need when comparing second-hand devices.
- Supports phones, tablets, iPad, laptops, and other tech devices.
- Structured model and specification data reduces confusion.
- Additional details explain defects, warranty, accessories, and terms.
- Buyers should review listing information before agreeing to purchase.
4) Reporting and review when risk appears
When users see suspicious listings, incorrect information, potential fraud, or safety issues, they can contact TechSwap so the team can review and take appropriate action.
- Reported listings and accounts can be reviewed.
- Risky content may be limited, hidden, or restricted.
- Necessary records support dispute and safety review.
- Safety matters for both buyers and sellers.

Buyer checklist
- Check model name, storage, memory, color, product condition, and photos.
- Read additional details for defects, accessories, warranty, and special terms.
- Consider the seller status and other context shown by the platform.
- Avoid suspicious payment requests or unusual behavior, and report risky listings.
Seller checklist

- Describe the product accurately and do not hide defects or important conditions.

Important note: eKYC reduces risk but does not replace product inspection
Identity verification increases seller-account trust and helps reduce fake-account risk, but it does not mean every device has no defects or every transaction has zero risk. Buyers should still review product details, ask necessary questions, and use their own judgment before purchasing.
